The adventure into the world of dinosaurs begins now.
On Sunday, November 17, 2024, the 1st Dinosaur Proficiency Test will be held.
"Dinosaurs," whose ecology is still full of mysteries. This test challenges the truth about the fascinating and mysterious dinosaurs, reflecting on the ancient times when they lived. Learn about their evolution and prosperity, and step into the romance of dinosaurs yet to be discovered. (From the Dinosaur Proficiency Test website)
It will be held at two difficulty levels, "Beginner" and "Intermediate," and the official website describes the question levels.
Organizer: Dinosaur Proficiency Test Executive Committee. Cooperation: Gakken's Picture Book LIVE. Planning & Operation: Nippan Segumo. It seems there will be options for taking the test at a venue or online.
Many paleontologists are listed as supervisors for the Dinosaur Proficiency Test.

In August 2009, an animal test organized by the animal specialty channel "Animal Planet" was held. Tests for Level 3 and Level 2 were conducted in various fields such as "Dinosaurs," "Dogs," "General," and "Insects." It is unknown if a Level 1 test was ever held, but at the time, the intended examinees for Level 1 were said to be "university researcher level."
I also took the "Dinosaur" Level 3 test.
The second Animal Test was held in August 2010, but the third one scheduled for August 2011 was postponed. It seems it has not been held since.
Although the organizer is different this time, I am happy that the "Dinosaur Test" is making a comeback.
The official website for the Dinosaur Proficiency Test introduces two books.
